Regarding the development of the baby, there is a saying called "the rhythm of each baby is different, there are fast and slow",
However, the reality is often:
"What's going on, the little brother next door has spoken the whole sentence, and we're still jumping on the words?"
"As soon as someone else slipped on a cigarette, they ran away, so why can't you walk steadily?"
"I don't like to play with my little pot friends, is there a problem?"
Seemingly different situations, but in fact point to the same question: is the baby stunted?
Are parents worried, or are they as careful as hair? Quick questions and answers, 5 minutes to understand developmental delay.
1. What is stunting?
In childhood, the backward problems of movement, cognition, language, emotion, and social interaction caused by brain development problems are all developmental delays.
Many "children from the stars", autistic children, are actually special developmental delays.
2. Is the incidence of stunting high?
high. At present, the incidence of stunting in Chinese children is as high as 9.9%, ranking second in the world.
First, many parents do not know the basic laws of children's growth and development, and even 30% of parents are blindly optimistic, "It's okay, we are late growing up."
Second, before the baby is 3 years old, many symptoms are not obvious, not easy to diagnose, and it is easy to miss the best dry expectations.
3. What signals of the baby's developmental delay parents should pay attention to?
The smaller your baby is, the more important it is to receive signals:
Big movements are lagging behind
2 months: no response to teasing, sudden noises, etc.;
4 months: lying on your stomach will not look up, your eyes will not follow objects, you will not laugh, you will not be able to grasp things, etc.;
6 months: can not grasp things by themselves, can not use body prophecies to express their own meaning, do not respond to the sound of other people's conversation, will not pronounce vowels such as "ah, oh";
7 months: will not turn over, will not take the initiative to grab things, things can not be stuffed into the mouth;
9 months: will not imitate any sound, will not sit, will not interact with themselves in the mirror, will not quickly grasp the toy;
10 months: when pulling him, he can't change from sitting to standing, can't climb, can't distinguish between dad and mom;
12 months: can't climb, doesn't respond to calling his name, doesn't grab things with 2 fingers, doesn't reach out to hug, doesn't call Dad and Mom;
15 months: can not point to things with their fingers, can not understand "no", can not understand the basic instructions;
18 months: will not eat with a spoon, will not identify their facial features or body parts, will not point to things to want, will not imitate;
22 months: can not walk on their own;
After the age of 2: can not say meaningful words, can not trot, will not imitate some of the actions of adults;
After the age of 3: easy to fall when walking or running, can't jump, can't go up and down stairs by yourself, can't play imaginative games, and can say very little.
2. Abnormal appearance
Congenital stupidity: the eye distance is too wide, the eyes are obliquely hanging, the bridge of the nose is collapsed, the tongue is often dragged outside the mouth, and the drooling;
Hydrocephalus: the circumference of the head is particularly large; microcephaly: the skull is particularly small;
Hypothyroidism: particularly short stature accompanied by intellectual backwardness;
Phenylketonuria: the skin is particularly white, the hair color is particularly light, etc.
3. Backward intellectual development
If you have difficulty feeding, cannot suck, and is particularly easy to spit up, it means that the nervous system is damaged and your intelligence is reduced later.
In addition to the above, if the baby's height, weight, and head circumference are obviously low, it means that there may be some developmental delay, and go to the hospital for examination.
4. Why does the baby have developmental delays?
Generally speaking, these are the 4 reasons
1. Heredity: There are symptoms such as short stature and malnutrition in the parent family.
Pregnancy: The mother is emotionally unstable during pregnancy, does not rest enough, or is affected by the environment, radiation, air pollution, etc.
3. Nutrition: The mother's diet is unbalanced, and the nutrition is unbalanced when feeding.
4. Diseases: such as congenital heart disease, congenital kidney disease, chronic infection, hypothyroidism, etc.
In short, correspond to any one, and go to the hospital quickly.
5. The harm of developmental delay:
undersized. The height is at least one head shorter than the same age, and the weight is also below the average line for a long time, and it is easy to have low self-esteem for a long time.
Introverted or even autistic. For example, there is no love of contact with strangers, lack of concentration, and even language barriers in adulthood.
Neurologic hazards. If it is stunting with seizures (croissant), the condition will only become more and more serious and more difficult to treat.
What should I do if I am stunted?
If there are only signs, hurry up and adjust:
Nutritionally balanced. What is missing can be supplemented by food supplements or targeted supplements under the guidance of doctors.
Lots of outdoor activities.
Make sure you get enough sleep.
Go to the hospital in time, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
I hope that the babies can grow up smoothly. This article parents need to understand, I hope there is no chance to use it.
